Harvest of Bull Run timber reduced
The Forest Service has reduced the amount of
blown down timber it wants to remove from the
Bull Bun watershed
But a representative of the Bull Bun Coalition,
an environmental group, is not satisfied with the
Forest Service’s compromise
A "final environmental impact statement" for
the Bull Bun blowdown was released Wednes
day, and the "selected alternative" is different
than the preferred alternative" recommended
in a draft environmental impact statement last
spring
Both the draft and the final documents focus on
5,190 acres of timber that was blown down in a
1983 wind storm The Forest Service originally
recommended that 2,392 acres la- harvested
from the area over a four-year period
The new selected alternative, however, sug
gests that 1.418 acres be harvested over a four-
year period
The change was made because public
testimony favored the reduced harvest as an
assurance that water quality would lie maintain

hydrologist
“ The overriding management objective for the
Bull Bun watershed is continued production of
The Bull Bun watershed provides drinking
w ater for about 700,000 people in the
metropolitan area, in< hiding Gresham
The selei ted alternative would allow for the
building of 2 9 miles of new road 1, removes ,13 8
million Ixiard fee, of tim ber with 1,291 acres of
clearcuLs and 127 acres of partial cuts
The selected alternative could be expected to
create 1,000 jobs over a four-year period and con
tribute $3,753,401 to county governments, acco,
ding to the Forest Service
Counties receive about 25 ,M-rccnt of the gross
tim ber receipts The Forest Service would lie,

leader for the Forest Service on the Bull Bun en
vironmental impact statement
A secondary goal is the protection. manage
ment anil utilization of renewable resources
which includes timber harvesting
"We fully intend to monitor our activities so
that we continue to manage our timber opera
tions in a manner that w ill not compromise the
quality of water in the Bull Bun watershed.
Ogden said
Clare Donison of Gresham, a member of the
Bull Bun Coalition said he could not support the
Fores, Service s selected alternative
"By remov ing the blowdown, they 'll create a
new edge for more blowdown when the next bn
wind comes along," said Donison, who also
represents the Ptimona Grange, which has 111
chapters in Multnomah County
Donison said the Putnona Grange and the
Oregon State Grange favor the Bull Bun ( o a li-
tion's position that all logging activities should
be banned inside the watershed
